Kitchener City Hall[1] will be a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system. It will be located alongside Duke Street, just east of Young Street, in downtown Kitchener. Just west of the station is its namesake, Kitchener City Hall. It is scheduled to open in 2018.
The station will serve northbound trains only; the nearest southbound platform will be at Victoria Park station, about 250m away down Young and Gaukel streets.
Locations in the vicinity of the station include Kitchener's main Catholic precinct to the north (including St. Mary's Church and the headquarters of the Waterloo Catholic District School Board); its former St. Jerome's College building to the west now houses Wilfrid Laurier University's Faculty of Social Work. Immediately south of the station is the 'City Centre' condominium development.
